Putting their family on a reality TV show has brought nothing but pain to the former stars of TLC's Raising Sextuplets.

After two years of tabloid headlines for cheating, domestic violence and divorce, Bryan Masche and his ex-wife, Jennifer Masche are seeking professional treatment for their six youngsters.

Bryan talks about the struggles the kids have been through:

"They’ve said they wished mommy and daddy were together. It sucks. It isn’t an easy thing to swallow. I think we’re going to start doing counseling now. It’s hard. They love being with me and my family, her and her family. They should get to be with both families.”

Bryan says he and his ex are confusing the kids by telling them different things about the family's situation. According to him, Jen has their children call her new husband "daddy Levi."

Here's what Bryan thinks about that:

“That is disgusting. Sometimes my own kids call me daddy Bryan, that’s just not right. I tell them ‘I am your dad and my name is Bryan.’”
